Contact UsBanana Relay 2008FAQ- Qns: Do I have to register as a team?
Ans: No. You are not required to register as a team, as we will be drawing lots to form teams & we will divide the team according to your 2.4 km timing so that all the teams are on somewhat equal standing. - Qns: Why 2.4 km timing?
Ans: There will be no end about why not this and why not that, so we put into consensus to have 2.4 km timing instead. - Qns: What if I do not have my 2.4 km timing?
Ans: You can try out at the stadium and run 6 rounds or you can calculate your estimated 2.4 km timing using your 5 km or 10 km race timing in external websites such as this one. - Qns: How do I register and pay the fees?
Ans: Please refer to this website. - Qns: What if I do not have my 2.4 km timing?
Ans: You can try out at the stadium and run 6 rounds or you can calculate your estimated 2.4 km timing using your 5 km or 10 km race timing in external websites. - Qns: With 2.4 km timing, weren't the slower members feel at a disadvantage?
Ans: No, they will not be at disadvantage as we will divide the group fairly with the fastest, faster and fast runner together. We will try our best to group them equally so that any team can have the chance to win the game. - Qns: With different kind of banana's registration price, can anyone help to clarify the difference?
Ans: The different banana type & cost of entry depends on the period which you register your participation. E.g. If you register between 1-31 Aug, you'll need to pay $20. In the 2nd period of 1 Sep - 31 Oct, you'll need to pay $25. If you register even later, between 1 Nov - 15 Dec, you'll need to pay $30.
- Qns: Do we have bib number or number tags to indicate the sequence of runners and the team we are in?
Ans: Yes, you will be given number tags to indicate your team, but it will not indicate the sequence of the runs. The team will do their own strategy on who to run first. And no runners are allowed to run 2 laps at one go.
- Qns: If I send my cheque and it reached 1 or 2 days later (for example: 1 or 2 Sept) which is after the closing of the early bird or AKA Baby Green Banana (1-31 Aug) period, will the cheque be return or you will still accept as early bird?
Ans: Yes, we will still accept the registant as early bird AKA Baby Green Banana as long as that person registered within that period. We must received the cheque within the stipulated duration, or else, we have to cancel the registration and open up the slots again. - Qns: How do I make my cash payment?
Ans: For those who want to pay cash, you can look for littletigger during CBD run. For more details on when and where is the CBD run, please check out this thread.
